Automated Solar Panel Tracking Cum Cleaning System
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 0
Abstract
Accumulation of dust on the surface of the solar panels is a natural phenomenon. These accumulated dust particles act as an obstrucle and obstruct the rays from reaching the panel. These particles act as external resistance. The amount of accumulated dust on the surface of the PV module effects the overall energy. Environment is one of the main contributing factor which affects the functioning of the panel. Shading of the panel can decrease the output reducing the overall solar photovoltaic performance of the cell. Hence by cleaning the module periodically can improve the efficiency by increasing the output by almost 50%.
